§ 6. Sir Wavell Wakefieldasked the Minister of Works whether, having regard to the need to maintain public service vehicle services and to the present scarcity of omnibuses and motor-coaches available, arrangements can be made to return, immediately, approximately 30 vehicles, now standing idle in Regent's Park, to the original owners of those vehicles or to make them available to operators in the industry, those vehicles having been taken by the Government from their owners for war purposes and a list of them having been furnished to him for identification.
§ Mr. TomlinsonNine of the 36 motor coaches in Regent's Park are beyond repair. Fifteen are awaiting their turn for repair and reconversion and are required, with the remainder, for further use in the Ministry's Mobile Labour Service. I regret therefore, that it is not at present possible to dispose of them
§ Sir W. WakefieldMay I ask the Minister why these vehicles that are awaiting repair cannot be returned to the operators and owners so that they can repair them and put them on the roads for public use?
§ Mr. TomlinsonThey are awaiting repair for public use, that is, by the Mobile Labour Service.
